Thank you Comrade Shark Fucker

I’ve heard this phrased as Wizard vs Prophet
- Comment on fossil fuels 6 months ago:
I think that’s a valid opinion to have but also the person could have just been a bit glib and not careful with their words
They’re a commenter on Lemmy, not a politician. I don’t expect them to always have well crafted takes
- Comment on fossil fuels 7 months ago:
I think you’re being downvoted a bit unfairly because you’re strictly correct
That said, fossil fuel companies also spend a considerable amount of money and effort keeping us dependent on oil
The Drilled podcast and Climate Town have both done excellent reporting on this

Brain half the size of its body AND three legs?!
It’s the ubermouse!
- Comment on Waiting in a queue to see a Web site 7 months ago:
I bet the constraint here isn’t what’s serving the website but either an external dependency that they don’t have control over so that can’t scale or a relational database that they didn’t have the budget or expertise to scale

Can they really get out THAT many calories from a gram of Uranium?! That’s insane!
I wish I cared more and would verify it
- Comment on life pro tip!! 7 months ago:
How much more matter is in a gram of osmium than in a gram of uranium?

Apparently 21.5 billion calories per gram of matter
Not sure what this meme is getting at, then, since it seems to be significantly undercounting it

The history of Darwin’s Barnacles is fascinating youtu.be/plYuvU2VZkE?si=Xq6rwC8FdhXFBDYD
At the time barnacles represented a major taxonomic mystery. They have a bizarre lifecycle that baffled scientists and figuring out what they were related to was baffling

- Comment on Patagonia’s Profits Are Funding Conservation — and Politics 9 months ago:
I both support Patagonia and am glad they’re doing this and think that they shouldn’t be able to. It amplifies the voice of the rich in an undemocratic way and ideally the system would be set up in a way that this wouldn’t be possible but even if you don’t like the game you have to play if you want to win.
- Comment on A billionaire wrote this letter to Google a year ago. How likely is that Google's layoffs and actions since then are at least partly because of this? 9 months ago:
he thinks that it is healthier and would make him live longer (typical billionaire)
I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people who aren’t billionaires who do this. I’m not sure “wanting to live longer” is necessarily a billionaire exclusive trait
